The Access 2.3 Keelboat has a 15kg Ballast
centerboard and is steered with a joystick.
This boat does not capsize and has to be
safest and most comfortable sailing dinghy
on the planet.
The Access Dinghy range has grown out of
the need to re-think entry level sailing,
to simplify everything, to retuern to the
basics.
In today's world of seemingly unlimited choice
people need to be encouraged into a new activity,
not threatened with confusing rules, and
jargon, and rewarded with a dunking.
The Access 303 is 3.03 metres long and is
the next step in the development of the Access
Dinghy concept for those sailors, able body
and disabled who wish to take their sailing
more seriously. This balt has a taller rig
with addition of a jib and a heavier keel.
Similar hull design parameters to the smaller
2.3 ensures that these boats are extremely
safe and easy to sail. The Access 303 will
balance perfectly when sailed single-handed
under mainsaila alone, yet also balance when
two up using main and jib.
The end result is an extremely versatile
and inexpensive genuine rough water sailor.All
the servo assisit electrics developed for
the 2.3 will also fit the 303.
